Image splitter for mid-infrared bi-spectral analysis of flames

摘要

We propose and evaluate an optical "image splitter" by which we can capture two simultaneous infrared images of a single object, using a single detector. With this device, we can perform experiments in which we are interested to observe transitory phenomena in two different spectral bands, without losing the spatial information of the test subject. We also present experimental results of using this array for mid-infrared flame analysis.
